Opposition to mining in Maharashtra's Kalne village

Maharastra's Kalne village has been offering tremendous resistance to the onslaught of mining companies. Predatory attacks have taken place on the village situated near the Goa's northern border. Goa is going to have direct effect if the kalne mining project takes off. Pernem taluka's water needs are satisfied with water from Kalne river originating in the western ghats. Pernem's Chandel village is a location from where the water from this river is pumped and supplied to the Goa's Pernem taluka.

Kalne's brave protesters has been booked under sections 144 and 302 by the State administration. Due to direct impact on Goa is become a compulsion for people of Goa to keep a close watch offer support and solidarity with struggling Kalne people. Please keep yourself updated on Kalne People's struggle against mining at the following links: http://kalneflame.blogspot.com/
